![]() I need to place all my inverts, fish, corals and rock into a temporary holding tank while I switch over to an upgraded tank size. I will be going from a 18 gallon system to a 25 gallon with sump. I should only need to leave them in the holding bin for a half day at most.
Would it be safe to use a Rubbermaid roughneck bin for this? ![]() I have seen some people on the internet use them as full time sumps so I assume as a temporary solution it could be ok. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks in advance. ![]() |

![]() Safe, just make sure its the stronger containers since weak ones will bow a lot. Also, as per common sense, wash out thoroughly before you use. These are new or have been used before? If new, should be fine. If used, make sure it wasn't used with any harmful chemicals in it.

![]() I used one for over a year to hold my excess live rock and had no issues. For that short of time you should be fine.
